Orbex is a leading micro-launch company developing cutting-edge propulsion systems. We are seeking an experienced Senior Propulsion Design Engineer to support the development of our turbomachinery.
The ideal candidate will have expertise in mechanical design and development for turbopumps, turbomachinery, or rotodynamic components, with a focus on space applications. Strong supporting knowledge of engineering principles, including thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and structural analysis, is essential.
You will take ownership of your designs end-to-end, from concept through testing and optimization, to ensure flight-ready hardware. This role requires excellent communication skills, initiative, and collaboration with technical and non-technical team members.
Responsibilities:
- Design, development, and integration of turbomachinery systems, including pumps, turbines, and associated components.
- Create and iterate detailed CAD models and technical drawings, ensuring compliance with GD&T and manufacturing standards.
- Perform structural, thermal, and fluid dynamic analyses to validate designs using tools such as ANSYS or equivalent.
- Define and execute test plans and procedures, analyze test data, and prepare comprehensive reports.
- Collaborate with suppliers to ensure quality assurance and manufacturability, including working with additively manufactured components.
- Develop assembly and operational procedures for testing and integration.
Orbex is a rapidly growing company with staff located between our production and test facilities in Forres, Scotland, and Copenhagen, Denmark. We are well-placed to be one of the first operational micro-launch companies in Europe, with over €122m/£103m of project financing secured, a number of customers signed up, a launch license application submitted, and backing from organizations including UKSA and ESA.
We are a high-paced, startup culture where you will be encouraged to take responsibility for tasks and see them through. It is imperative that you take initiative, communicate openly, and can collaborate with technical and non-technical team members.
